Hi Guido,

First, apologies for the delay in response, we're usually pretty quick
to get back to folks who post! :(

Unfortunately, Fabric does not currently integrate with any logging modules.

Depending on how strong your needs are and whether you're able to run
off a Git repo, it shouldn't be difficult to update a copy of Fabric
to output in the manner you need (just search the fabric/ folder for
"output", 90% of the time it's a reference to the output object; and
there should only be a handful of results).

Otherwise, I'm hoping to integrate with the stdlib logging module, or
Logbook or similar, in Fabric 1.1. For reference, Fabric 1.0 should be
out the door within a week or two.

Thanks,
Jeff
